Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco is a famous local tourist attraction, and the highlight of the attraction is naturally the stalls selling seafood.

But in addition to these seafood, the entire area is also filled with a series of service facilities such as museums, shops, book galleries, antique shops, restaurants, shopping malls and souvenir shops.

"We are very lucky." After finding a parking lot and parking the car, Liang En said while leading everyone towards the business district. “Now is the season for eating seafood, especially the local specialty Denkinese sea crab is also on the market.”

Dungeness crab, also known as Dungeness crab in Chinese, is a relatively high-end ingredient. Especially in this season, their meat is fuller and naturally delicious.

"You're right, so after we finish shopping here, let's just have lunch here, and then go shopping south in the afternoon." Pierce nodded in agreement after searching on his mobile phone.

Due to their hobbies, they naturally focused on visiting book galleries and antique stores, but unfortunately they did not find anything that could attract their attention.

It has to be said that tourist areas all over the world have similar routines. The things sold in these antique shops are either overpriced or simply modern handicrafts. Whoever buys them will be punished.

Of course, if you don’t set your sights on finding real antiques, there are still a lot of great things to buy here, such as refrigerator magnets with local attractions on them, key rings, beer bottles, screwdrivers or cultural shirts.

But after you take these things and examine them carefully, you will find that most of them have labels saying "Made in China".

But from another perspective, this does not mean that these things are not worth selling, because these things are customized products from various tourist areas in San Francisco and are really unavailable elsewhere.

Since everyone gained a lot from this trip to the United States, everyone bought a lot of these small gifts in those gift shops to collect for themselves and to give to relatives and friends.

By the time everyone was done shopping, it was already noon, so they each walked towards the seafood stall with the trophies they had just obtained while shopping.

Just like many seafood stalls in coastal cities, the stalls in this place are also full of live seafood, and customers will cook the seafood directly after selecting it.

Except for Jeanne, the other three people all grew up by the sea, so when it comes to cooking methods, they naturally exclude stewing in butter, frying, or salt and pepper, and instead choose the original boiled or steamed method.

"This thing is really delicious. I feel that the seafood I had in New York before was not as good as this." After the seafood was served, Jeanne commented with satisfaction after eating some.

"You're right, because the environment here is much better than that in New York, so the seafood is naturally better." Liang En explained seriously. "The taste of many ingredients is closely related to the environment in which they are grown."

"Yes, just like the emperor's tribute in the past, there are specific regulations on what comes from where. This is probably because the same food is different in different places." Fan Meng added at this time.

"That's right, I remember that the wine in my hometown is like this. The price difference of the same wine produced in different places can even be ten times, but in fact the taste is not much different." Being reminded by everyone, Joan of Arc smiled He nodded.

"By the way, where would it be better for us to go later?" Just when he was about to finish eating, Fan Meng suddenly put down his fork and looked at his phone and asked, "Jiuquhua Street, the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, or Stanford University—"

"Let's go to Jiuquhua Street first. That attraction is very small. We could finish it in ten minutes. The same goes for the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. If you don't watch the show, it will only take less than half an hour." Liang En quickly made arrangements. arrive.

"We had lunch a little early today, so after reading all these two points, we just had time to go shopping in Silicon Valley. Although our profession seems incompatible with the group of IT elites in Silicon Valley, the people in this IT industry Always visit the Holy Land.”

Jiuquhua Street and San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts are two popular attractions on the Internet. Naturally, they are ranked so high because of their unique beauty.

But for people like Liang En and others who don't have much artistic talent, they really can't see much profound things except that these places are really beautiful.

So after choosing a few places that they thought were good to take photos and check in, the four of them drove south toward Silicon Valley.

Different from the old city of San Francisco that I passed through before, the buildings in Silicon Valley are obviously much more modern. At the same time, both the cleanliness and the various public facilities on the roadside look much better than the old city that I passed before.

Even when driving into the Silicon Valley area, they actually encountered a police inspection. This was different from the situation in the old city of San Francisco where the outlaws were running around everywhere, but the police were rarely seen except near the main roads. An obvious contrast.

Fortunately, Liang En and the others were either Asians or whites, and they had all the documents they had with them, so the police just asked them casually why they were driving a moving truck and let them leave.

"If our skin color is darker, there is a half chance that we will be shot, and the other half chance is a two-day trip to the police station." Fan Meng complained after driving the car away.

"This is America, or as their president says, this is life." Regarding the situation in the United States, Liang En felt that this sentence was the most appropriate to put here.

As one of the few IT holy places in the world, this place has too many familiar things, such as Google, Apple, Facebook and a series of familiar companies.

However, because everyone had a very general interest in these things, they just got out of the car and took a few photos at the entrance of those iconic buildings before leaving.

In fact, most of these companies allow visitors to enter, but the whole process is a bit complicated, so Liang En and the others have no plans to visit in depth.

But just as they were driving from the place where these companies were concentrated to the residential area, they suddenly saw a man standing on the roadside waving and shouting to them. Seeing this, Fan Meng, who was driving, turned the steering wheel and pulled over.

"Sir, what do you want?" After rolling down the glass, Fan Meng looked at the young man standing outside the double-story single-family house and asked.

"You are from the moving company, can you help me clean up the computers and tools in the garage?" the South Asian said in accented English.

"Can those computers be used?" Fan Meng wanted to refuse directly, but Liang En held him down and asked. "We'd be willing to clean that stuff up if it could be used."

"Of course, of course it works." The South Asian nodded. "Most of these computers are new, and many may have never been used, but I need to clean them all out now."

"Okay! In principle, we are willing to clean that garage for you." After hearing what the other party said, Liang En nodded and said, "But before that, we need to check the computers to make sure they can be used."
